Discovering music should feel effortless and fun. That's why Spotify continuously innovates to bring our users features and tools for seamless discovery, intuitive playlist curation, and a uniquely personal listening experience.
Starting today, we're gradually rolling out a new suite of features and tests that put you in the driver's seat and offer you more control over your listening and discovery. Our latest updates give you even more tools to curate playlists, refine your recommendations, and shape your music journey.
Optimize your listening sessions Good news for Premium users: Queue, those three lines at the bottom of your Now Playing view, just got an upgrade. The new design is easier to use and includes controls like Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, Repeat, and Sleep Timer. Plus, Premium users will also start seeing which songs Spotify recommends after your queued-up tracks end, so you can decide what makes it into your queue. Prefer to stick with your own picks during your listening sessions? You can easily switch Autoplay and Smart Shuffle off in your settings for full control.
We're also making it easier to shape your musical journey with an updated Hide button and the new Snooze feature. Hear a track that just doesn't fit the vibe? The refreshed Hide button is now more intuitive, and when you tap it, the track will be hidden from that playlist across all devices, so we won't play it again in that playlist. And if you need more of a break from a song, keep an eye out for our new 30-day Snooze feature. This option allows you to temporarily remove a track from your recommendations, so you can keep things fresh while leaving the door open for a future reunion. We're starting to test this for Premium users and are planning to bring it to more listeners soon.
Customize your playlist listening experience We're introducing new mobile playlist management tools that will help you customize your creations. Now, at the top of all your playlists, you'll find easy access to Add, Sort, and Edit to build your track list, change your playlist title, create custom cover art, and perfectly sequence each song.
If you're always adding to your Liked Songs, there's good news: listeners in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K., and the United States can now use this tracklist to build playlists. Try it out by filtering by genre and tapping turn into a playlist.
Curate and collaborate with ease Whether you're looking to dive deeper into the music you love or discover your next favorite artist, we wanted to simplify access to our music-curation tools. Now, by tapping the Create button + at the bottom-right side of your mobile app, you'll be able to easily create your playlist, collaborate with friends, and join a Blend. If you're a mobile Premium user in a supported market, the Create button will also provide quick access to Jam for real-time listening with friends, and AI Playlist, where you can turn your most creative ideas into playlists. And with our recent expansion of AI Playlist to more markets, even more listeners can bring their creativity to the next level.
Looking for Your Library to access all your personalized content and creations? It's still there, we just moved it slightly. On mobile, you'll see it as the third option at the bottom of your app.
